Key Features

The concrete program is developed in accordance with the specific research proposals, interests and needs of participants. It offers intense coaching in writing, critical studies, artistic research methodologies and sharing research. 

The coaching is individual, collective and participatory; every participant is invited to expand our situated knowledges and responsibilities. There is a strong focus on sharing research and (peer-to-peer) feedback; this entails collectively designing productive formats to share our insights and creating a sustainable research network.

The participants meet in Antwerpen every two or three weeks for three full days, mostly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. These three days are dedicated to four modules (Methodology, Writing, Critical Theory and Share Research) in which we focus on the participants’ specific research proposals and enable them to advance in writing, theoretical explorations, research methodology and sharing their research. 

Parallel to this trajectory, we also organize three intensive weeks.These are three full-time research weeks with international or local artists or designers across the fields of artistic research.
